HINMAN No.4 To fee 14 that this exchange of my goods, my service and jay ideas for ... profit is legitimate that- all. parties in the exchange - 0 - SSLF'- PITY The state of mind of our English and French brothers in all probability arises, as our President has said, from the War's aftermath, It is indeed wonderful to consider how men are able to raise-aff/liction to them selves out of everything. Lands and housos, shoep and oxen, can convey happiness and misery into the hearts of reasonable creaturos. Almost arything can be-come a solid blessing or misfortune. A pot dog has broken the hearts of thousands. A woman, oven, who has buried fivo children and two husbands, was never ablo to get over the loss of a parrot. Many an author has beon dejected at the censure of one whom ho ever lookod upon as an idiot;- and many a hero cast into a fit of melancholy, because the rabblo have not hootod at him as ho passed through the streets. It would be endless to enumerate the many fantastical afflictions that disturb mankind, but misery is not to bo measured from the nature of the evil, but from the temper of the sufferer. It is all either reality or imagination.. Worry kills more than experience. Pin this on the wall: "Don't worry when you stumble;, remember a worn is the only thixg that cannot fall down." Perhaps, after all, the happiest of men was the farmer who, aftor soven years of effort on the stony farm, announced to all and sundry:"Anyhow, I'm holding my cwn. I hadn't nothin1 when I came here, an' I haven't nothin' .now." —Har. Nat. Bk. - 0 - A wife of one of our members had just bought a box of cigars, 100 to the box, from Srnie Bihlmaier, and while Ernie was wrapping them up, she said: "I am giving those to my husband for a birthday present. Do you know how I could please him more?" And Brnie, who knows his goods, said,""Yes, only give him 50.-" Harry Blanding saw a sign in Clint's store reading "Milk from contented cows." He went right back to his place and hung up a sign that reads:"Sausage from Hogs that died happy." - Spoke J.C. "I just came from Frosty's office." B.P."What did ho say?" J.C."Nc." - 0 - There are now 120,000 members in 2,395 clubs located in 35 countries. Your official card is on introduction to 119,999 of theso Botarians. "The citizen who devotes his energies wholly in private affairs, refusing to take part in public affairs, pluming himself on his wisdom in minding his own business, is blind to the fact that his own business is made possible by the prosperity of all." Spoke. - 0 - The fellow who trios to do something and fails is infinitely better than he who trios to do nothing and succeeds. To work for others is no disgrace but to work others - that's different. - 0 - * —»» wav t — o-rqnt_p 'o crossing aa^ - i" ''.'ait unti t-a gee
